Crystalline and Amorphous Solids

What is the atomic structure of crystalline solids?

• No specific arrangement of atoms in a one-dimensional pattern

• Random arrangement of atoms in a two-dimensional structure

• Regular, repeating pattern of molecules in a one-dimensional arrangement

• Regular, repeating pattern of atoms or molecules in a three-dimensional arrangement

Name the types of crystalline lattices.

• primitive cubic, body-centered cubic, face-centered cubic

• triclinic lattice, monoclinic lattice, rhombohedral lattice

• hexagonal lattice, tetragonal lattice, orthorhombic lattice

• simple cubic, diamond cubic, hexagonal close-packed

What are the properties of amorphous solids?

• Regular atomic structure

• Disordered atomic structure

• Highly organized arrangement of atoms

• Perfectly symmetrical atomic pattern

How do atoms arrange themselves in a crystalline lattice?

• In a single, unchanging position

• In a liquid state

• In a regular, repeating pattern

• In a random, chaotic pattern

What are the defining characteristics of crystalline solids?

• Regular and repeating atomic arrangement, undefined melting point, inability to form distinct crystal faces

• Regular and repeating atomic arrangement, well-defined melting point, ability to form distinct crystal faces

• Amorphous and disordered atomic arrangement, no melting point, inability to form distinct crystal faces

• Irregular and random atomic arrangement, undefined melting point, inability to form distinct crystal faces

Explain the difference between crystalline and amorphous solids.

• Crystalline solids have a specific pattern, while amorphous solids have a repeating pattern.

• Crystalline solids have a disordered structure, while amorphous solids have a highly ordered structure.

• Crystalline solids are flexible, while amorphous solids are rigid.

• Crystalline solids have a highly ordered structure with a repeating pattern, while amorphous solids have a disordered structure without a specific pattern.

What are some examples of crystalline solids?

• Paper, cloth, rubber

• Diamond, salt, quartz

• Water, air, oil

• Wood, plastic, glass

How do the properties of amorphous solids differ from crystalline solids?

• Amorphous solids have a repeating pattern, while crystalline solids have a random arrangement

• Amorphous solids have a highly ordered arrangement, while crystalline solids have a disordered arrangement

• Amorphous solids have a regular structure, while crystalline solids have an irregular structure

• Amorphous solids have a disordered arrangement of particles, while crystalline solids have a highly ordered arrangement in a repeating pattern.

What are the different types of crystalline lattices?

• Metallic, Covalent, Ionic, Molecular

• Seven types: Cubic, Tetragonal, Orthorhombic, Hexagonal, Rhombohedral, Monoclinic, and Triclinic

• Round, Square, Triangle, Rectangle

• Liquid, Gas, Plasma, Bose-Einstein Condensate

Discuss the arrangement of atoms in amorphous solids.

• Regular pattern of atoms

• Arranged in a perfect crystal lattice

• Disordered arrangement of atoms

• Highly organized atomic structure
